Couldn’t agree more.

I built this to expose elected officials who won’t take a stand.

61% of Alberta MLAs and MPs are silent. No statements. No answers.

They’re hiding—afraid their extremist base will turn on them. That’s cowardice.

This issue matters. I’m dragging them into the light.

CanadaWill.ca tracks where Alberta MPs and MLAs stand on separation. After scraping tens of thousands of articles and emailing every rep four times, we found 35 are Pro-Canada, 12 Pro-Separation, and 74 with no clear stance.

I’m a proud Canadian—and Albertan—frustrated by the rise in Alberta separation talk and the silence from too many elected officials.

So I built two tools to help citizens push back.

nothing lasts forever and I wouldn't mind actually following the VA official account when it isn't being run by some dentist's failson.

Good luck with the move - I am doing the same. After a couple decades in Texas, it’s time for this Canadian to come home.

But it hasn’t always been as enforced. For things like meetings.

As someone starting a doctoral program, AI is another tool (just like a calculator, excel, and word).

Will I trust AI 100%? No

Will I use it to challenge my ideas and explore new ones? Yes

Will I accept AI output without making revisions? No

Will I be accountable for any AI used? Absolutely.

Opinion: Yes, Canadians – Albertans do want to stay in Canada

Don’t believe the separatist rhetoric of a few vocal and misguided pundits

I'm going to hold the simple truths to remember what's real:
- Being trans isn't wrong it's just different from being cis
- Haters hate but I don't need to let that bleed into my heart
- Even though this all seems confusing it's actually not
- We can work together to win if we stay *principled*

Raise your voice. Every day.

The easiest way? Message your elected reps. I use @resist.bot it takes less than a minute.

Flood their inboxes. Make it impossible to ignore you. Demand accountability. Relentlessly.

Especially for those in red states.

I entered the US two decades ago on a NAFTA work permit, moved to an H-1B, and ultimately became a citizen. This change worries me.... it will drive top talent to other countries.

“Kenney said he also knows that separatism is, and always has been, the rallying cry for a tiny core of flighty, discontented Albertans.

How far off the rails are we now Kenney is a voice of reason?
